The conversation that would unfold about policing when someone was killed, whether it was someone like Mike Brown, Walter Scott... it would be about the specific dynamics of the interaction. Did the officer fear for his life or not? Did this person were they racist? You know, all these kinds of things. And what bothered me about that was that those conversations blocked out these broader questions about really the main question which is what causes harm in our society actually, right? Why is policing the solution? Why is an armed person with a gun the solution to so many social problems
